So yesterday, Monday evening, I did the rounds of my local area looking for prospective customers, handing out flyers to those people I saw out walking their dogs, running or just getting home with the shopping. Lots of gardens that need some…
So there I was sitting in my garden admiring my handiwork and taking in the late afternoon sunshine and I thought to myself, "sod this lark....working all week and only having the weekend to do the garden" so I decided that it was about time I…

"planting wont be a piece of cake if they are of a medium size ! "
"Haha yeah it takes no prisoners alrite!! I think to avoid that problem it has to be at least twice trimmed a year. A once a year heavy pruning is only for sadists....."
"Yes your correct Andrew, I was'nt thinking of heavy moss infestation...."

"Hi Ian,
I would make the effort to remove the turf first. It will be a LOT easier to do this than try to level the area when full of chopped up turf clumps.

I've sometimes thought about selling it, but whe…"
